Good Wednesday morning. Happy Hump Day. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your political playbook

audio briefing, sponsored by Morgan Stanley. Your playbook team was asleep at midnight last night,

but Donald Trump was not. At 12.06 a.m., Trump tweeted, despite the constant negative press,

cofeffi, yes, cofeffi. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. If you had any doubts the president was tweeting on his own in the middle of the night, this should dispel that. The tweet was deleted in the 5 o'clock hour. Ironically, the AP's Vivian Salama has a story this morning about security concerns after Trump has been giving his cell phone number out to other world leaders. The president typically calls world leaders from secure lines.

He gave his cell phone to leaders in Canada, Mexico, and France.

We've heard buzz that the White House is already scouting out desk space for the Trump

war room in the executive office building.

Mitt Romney is holding his annual E2 summit next weekend at Park City at the Stein Erickson Lodge.

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan,

former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are all scheduled to attend. There will be

enthusiasts sessions, including trap shooting with Speaker Ryan, Pilates with Anne Romney, and early

morning hikes with Mitt Romney. Oh, to be a fly on the wall there. Mackie Haberman and Peter

Baker of the New York Times have a smart story about the difficult

in recruiting people to the Trump administration.

David Bossy has told the administration he does not want to join because of family concerns.

A few juicy pieces of gossip, Reince Priebis, the White House Chief of Staff, has said he wants

to stay in the chief of staff job for a year, but the White House seems to be considering

him for the

ambassadorial post to Athens, Greece. Tomorrow is the deadline for Trump to decide whether he'll move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Damian Palletta and Mike DeBonis in the Washington Post have a story about time ticking for Trump to notch some legislative achievements. The White House, they report is pushing for a health care vote in the Senate in June.

This seems to be a waste of time. The Senate is nowhere near done with its bill.

Our own Annie Carney, the master of Kushner intrigue, says the president's son-in-law is acting like everything is hunky-dory behind the scenes, despite the multiple investigations into Russia.
